Book description
Okay, so I just finished Colin Barrett's Wild Houses as an audiobook, and wow-this thing sticks with you. Like, seriously sticks. Ballina, Ireland, isn't just a setting here; it's this tense, buzzing character itself, especially as their big weekend kicks off. You've got this simmering feud between Cillian English (small-time dealer, not the smooth type) and these fraternal goons, Gabe and Sketch Ferdia. And it all explodes when Dev, this quiet guy who just wants to be left alone, answers his door one Friday night to find Doll-Cillian's bruised, sullen teen brother-being roughed up by those Ferdias. Dev's dog, his dead mom's ghost (literally, the dog's a weirdly intense vibe), and spinning lights later? He's dragged headfirst into their revenge plan. It's messy, dark, and weirdly funny in that way only Irish noir can be.
But the real heart? Seventeen-year-old Nicky. She's hungover, reeling from a bad night, and just knows something's wrong with her boyfriend Doll. So she's out there, feverish, chasing ghosts of her own past, trying to save him while wondering if she even wants to stay in Ballina anymore. The audiobook? Chef's kiss. The narrator nails that raw, exhausted, small-town voice-like you're sitting in a pub listening to the whole thing unfold. You hear the tension in every pause, the grit in the dialogue, the way Nicky's panic just pulses through the audio. It's not just a story you read; it's one you feel in your bones, like you're walking those streets with her, heart pounding, wondering what's around the next corner. Barrett's debut? It's got that perfect mix of heartbreaking and sharp, and the audiobook makes it feel like it's whispering secrets right into your ear. If you love books that grab you by the throat and don't let go, this is your next listen. Seriously, grab it. You won't regret it.
